    Intimate bistro atmosphere, old school blues gently playing, fans wafting cool air and the smell of home cooking. Yes sometimes it's nice not to be in a chain restaurant or cooking at home, just in the moment of pure relaxation. This is how a Sunday morning should be. Service is personal, like they have known you forever, it's the South Carolina way. As an outsider, I relish in this experience, because it exists nowhere else I have ever lived. Now the food.. They will make it any way you want.. This is what perfection tastes like.

    This cafe was awesome. The food was delicious. The customer service was warm and welcoming. This cafe is tucked away in a small town with a small town feel. I can't wait to go back

    Pimento Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries

    Stopped in for the first time today for lunch. I've been looking forward to trying this place since they opened. It was Valentine's Day and my wife and I were heading to another restaurant but the traffic was so crazy at lunchtime we decided to hit Elgin. It's a small restaurant with some small tables seating 2 and 4 people and they've got two larger tables if you have a larger group of 6 or possibly 8. It wasn't very crowded today with only about 5 tables working. We walked in and saw the daily special was chicken and dumplings with black eyed peas. My wife and I both decided that is what we would order. She isn't a huge fan of southern cooking and didn't see much anything else on the lunch menu except the Chicken and Dumplings or the Cobb Salad. The waitress came to take our order and we said we'd like the Chicken and Dumplings. She said we're out of that. Now it was 11:58 at the time...they opened at 11AM....and in 58 minutes they were out of the daily special. We were not impressed. So my wife ordered the Cobb salad. The waitress said we don't have any salads because the salad truck hadn't delivered them. Ok..now they're 0-2! She settled for the pimento burger without pimento cheese with a side of sweet potato fries. I opted for the Bourbon bacon burger with a side of Cowboy beans. She brought us each out a complimentary hoe cake which was good. The burgers were huge...and they were cooked well done as we liked them. It seemed like they were almost a 1/2 pound. Mine had two tomatoes, lettuce, bacon and I could hardly get it into my mouth it was so big. My wife said her burger was good and finished about half of it. The Cowboy beans were very good and also her fries. Waitress was ok but really never came by just to check on our food..but she did ask me if I wanted a refill on my tea when we were almost finished eating. They have a decent looking night menu. I would've liked to have tried their pork chop sandwich instead of the burger. My biggest complaint though is being out of your daily special after only being open for 58 minutes. I'm not sure if I'll return or not.

    Kid's Mac and cheese

    Very quaint restaurant with cozy decor and friendly employees. The food was great! Cornbread is sweet. The edges almost tasted like cookies. We went for dinner and tried the fried chicken and étouffée. The fried chicken was crispy and cooked perfectly. Their coleslaw was crunchy, creamy, and had a zip of vinegar. Their Mac and cheese is very yummy! The étouffée had a southern twist, served over grits. Very warming and comforting meal. Also it was a big portion and filling. We had a piece of berry pie for dessert which had a delicious crumble crust/topping that resembled a berry crisp. Definitely recommend this restaurant. It's tucked away slightly off the main road, but what a gem for Elgin. We are looking forward to visiting again to try their lunch menu.

    Country fried steak with sawmill sausage heavy, amazing mac & cheese and cowboy beans

    There is a very nice family atmosphere. Friendly service and amazing food. The mac and cheese was the best I have ever tasted.

    Dinner special -- baked spaghetti
